Hmmm… it’s not showing my comment. Let me try again:
Crikey, Stergios!
Fantastic job! I’m very impressed!
Great interviews, and very professional! I loved the little slips people sometimes made: Andrew Robins “We’ll see once the Lisbon Treaty goes through… (little smile) IF it goes through!”
How did you go about getting all those interviews? It looks like you went to a conference (or two?) and cornered a lot of ambassadors?
Did you approach them beforehand, or for the first time at the conferences? Did anybody refuse an interview?
It looks like you had some professional camera and recording equipment for the interviews - do you think that made it easier to get interviews?
How can other people get interviews like this?
Keep up the good work!

Hi dear Joe,
Thank you so much for your remarks.
For the Ambassadors’ event plz check our post: http://jmecelab.com/2008/11/05/jmece-lab-welcomes-eu%E2%80%99s-27-ambassadors/
It wasn’t a conference. I was an event organised by us (jmecelab) and the French Embassy in UK.
